Other Older Games you wish they'd make more of

I'm not sure if this has been done before, but then - even if it has, with all the new people around here, it might be worth doing again.

I passionately hate sequels of most kinds.
Give you an example: Far Cry - good, great looking, why are they making ANOTHER shooter that's just like the previous one.

This thread is about old games that you wish they'd remake, though... or - make sequels to.

Here's some that spring to mind:
Blade Runner (the 1997 PC game, not the earlier one). Yes, it was mostly video, but it was so moody, and the "anyone can be a replicant every time you restart" principle was new... it was awesome. And it did the "enhance the image" thing way before CSI.

Street Rod (1989) - Prolly the first PC game i owned... a street rod MMO would be t*ts...

 

Everyone remember the 'Road Rash' games on sega MD and MS, i wouldnt mind seeing an updated version of this.

 

X-Wing Vs Tie Fighter... Come on Lucas, you know you wanna!

AvP was also on my wish list but that one came true (come on 2010!)

 

Rainbow 6 - the old way... Raven shield was full of win IMHO

 

I'd rather see new games instead of old ideas re-run, tbh.

 

Freelancer. A good dog-fighting space game is really difficult to find.

 

Hey All, first post W00t!

IMHO i think the gaming industry has run out of really original ideas, so all they can do is make re-runs, and when an original idea does come along, its flogged to death within a year.

A good example of this is all those WWII games out there, never stopping, but the same old every time

 

I'd say thats a given. Its always preferable to have a brand new idea hit the market then a remake but as per the 'Blast from the Past' article in the new CPC issue, we gamers are just rife with nostalgia

 

Aww now i miss Freelancer : (

I still have a copy of it but the master server has been shut down a few years ago.

 

QFT.

Maybe we should start a 3rd World war so that our children's children have someone new to shoot. </sarcasm>

Of course, i agree with Joe as well... I'd love see more games with at least some original content (new crouching and a new gun pew-pew don't count), but more adventurous developers would be swell...

that doesn't mean that i wouldn't LOVE a new R6...

 

Elite/frontier in any format be that MMO or the good old one player space sim.

Im sure they were talking about making an MMO a few years back.

 

lolz ya. Only problem with that is that all those games would have the exaclt same ending: you launch/get hit by a nuke. THE END!

What I want to play again are all those lucas Arts puzzle games. Any one remember Day of the Tentacle?

 

Legacy of Kain - Soul Reaver/Blood omen - the whole series

Streets of Rage...

 

Hardwar. Brilliant concept, great fun game, nice dogfighting in 3d although you were limited with a height ceiling due to the physics of the planet you're on.

A few fan patches are out but you really hafta play it multiplayer to get the best of it, and I long since don't know anyone who might want to play it.

 

Rogue Spear multiplayer was GREAT!
